private school and home school is a meaningless option unless it accompanies the option to not pay taxes to support the public schools.
Senior citizens pay school taxes. Childless adults pay school taxes.
We all pay taxes to support medicare, but we don’t care free medical care because of we do.
The very nature of taxation of the masses with redistribution to the few should be of concern to everyone.
That's not really true.
It at least protects those children who are educated in those settings.
I sure do object to my tax dollars going to support that system, but as long as there's no choice in the matter, I'll do what I can, and that's keeping kids out of situations like that.
That's a little much. Clearly getting children out of the government controlled indoctrination centers is beneficial for several reasons: (1) one can indoctrinate their children with the right ideas; (2) children are in a more natural and healthier environment--home, not an institution/prison; (3) children will have a better selection of friends, and we know that bad company corrupts good morals; (4) the state will have fewer heads for which they will receive funding (starve the beast); (5) others will see the superior "product" by non-government educational choices; (6) homeschooling shows that expensive educational facilities are not needed for excellent results; (7) attrition will provide grounds for reducing government school funding; and it may lead eventually to a complete separation of school and state.
But until then, leave the government system now.
